Technically, the DNC is running his re-election campaign until Obama registers with the Federal Election Commission as a 2012 presidential candidate. At that point, the campaign will be allowed to raise money.

Obama brought in a record $750 million for his 2008 campaign. Experts estimate that he could raise up to $1 billion for his re-election bid.

Supposedly, Democratic donors are being told that Obama’s formal announcement stating he will run for another term as president will coincide with that April 14 visit.
